Philadelphia Eagles Win Michael Vick Lottery

"He's an unbelievable athlete, both running and throwing the ball." 

"He's a difference maker in a lot of areas."          - Andy Reid

These are just a few things Philadelphia Eagle's Head coach Andy Reid had to say about Michael Vick during a post-game news conference after preseason matchup against New England on Thursday. 

Andy Reid started the post-game media conference giving an injury update and said a few words about the game before announcing that they had indeed signed Michael Vick. 

Vick is the only quarterback to pass for over 250 yds and rush for over a 100 in the same game.

He is 2-2 in playoffs and 38-28-1 overall.

Wayne Pacelle, President of the Humane Society, said about Vick signing the deal in Philly, "It's a city we've been looking at closely because it has a major dogfighting problem.  So Vick's landing there has the potential to turn the issue arround.  This gives us a big boost."

Mr. Pacelle accompanied Michael on a recent trip to Chicago where he would speak to youth about the evils of dogfighting.  He said about the engagement, "I was a witness to Michael having an influence on these kids and turning them very strongly against dogfighting.  It was an audience that we otherwise would not be able to attract."

The Eagles hit the lottery to the tune of a 100 million dollar quarterback for 1.6 million the first year with a team option second year at just over five million. 

Coach Reid was also adamant about having competition during negotiations, makes you wonder where else he could have ended up. 

Baltimore maybe? New England? Perhaps we'll never know.  

Welcome back to the NFL Mr. Vick!

Many are praying for your success and believe in you both as a football player and a person.  Your future is as bright as the morning summer sun.  Getting caught was a blessing to not only to save your life but many other lives as well (including dog's lives).
